Abstract
The study aims to examine the specifics of the representation of cultural and ideological codes in Algerian postcolonial French literature, through identification of narrative strategies and language features by which these codes are constructed. In accordance with its aim and tasks the study uses a comprehensive methodology including hypothetic deductive, hermeneutic, continuous sampling, contextual and definitional analysis methods. The research is based on a corpus of literary texts of French-language Algerian novels of the second half of the 20th century. The choice is determined by the language of the works, the cultural and historical period and the topics of the text, which not only reflect the complex process of decolonization of the mindset, but also actively participate in the formation of new cultural paradigms.
